The category of level 3 of axis 1 to classify the cause of non-traumatic spinal cord injury

Status of whether the subject had hypohidrosis after spinal cord lesion within the last three months. Hypohidrosis is defined as a loss of ability to sweat and is normally seen below the level of injury due to disruption of sympathetic outflow. Hypohidrosis may be total or partial

Type of tablets, capsules or granulate oral laxative, a medicine taken by mouth to encourage bowel movements to relieve constipation

The mechanism of spinal cord injury

Indicator of whether the participant/subject has a history of the pre-specified medical condition/disease.

Grade that documents the ability to sense light touch on the specific spinal cord level and side

Results of voiding cystogram performed on the urinary tract

Documents the bladder sensation during filling cystometry. Although the bladder sensation is assessed during filling cystometry the assumption that it is sensation from the bladder alone, without urethral or pelvic components may be false (Abrams et al. 2002). Normal bladder sensation can be judged by three defined points noted during filling cystometry and evaluated in relation to the bladder volume at that moment and in relation to the patient's symptomatic complaints

Whether any of the following spinal surgical procedures were performed during the inpatient hospitalization following spinal cord injury: laminectomy, neural canal restoration, reduction, spinal fusion, or internal fixation of the spine. Laminectomy is defined as removal of normal intact lamina or foreign body at the site of spinal cord damage. Neural canal restoration is defined as the removal of bone or disk fragments, blood clots, or foreign bodies (such as bullet fragments) from the spinal canal. Reduction is defined as replacement of one or more dislocated, subluxed or angulated vertebra into anatomic or near anatomic alignment. Spinal fusion is defined as the addition of a bone graft to the vertebrae for the purpose of achieving intervertebral fusion or stability. Internal fixation of the spine is defined as attaching rods, plates, wires, etc. to the spine (individually or in combination) to provide internal surgical stabilization of the vertebral column

Unique identification number given to the study site to distinguish the location where data is recorded

Indicator of any gastrointestinal or anal sphincter dysfunction unrelated to SCI. This is gastrointestinal or anal sphincter dysfunction concomitant and thus unrelated to changes in bowel function due to SCI
